Hmmm, I'll have to think a bit harder with those limits. 20-30 isn't going to get you into the upper end in Vail at most places but maybe if you do a bar menu? Garfinkel's, Bart & Yeti's and The Red Lion are all pub style places where you can get an okay meal but it's definitely not fantastic food.

Robyn, I think they are talking about $20 t0 $30 per main course which means most places are open to them. The pub style places you mentioned at fine for beverages and bar food, only.
MG, check the previous posts over the last year and they still apply. Are you thinking of the Town of Vail or the entire Valley?

You can go from anywhere to anywhere in the Vail Valley by day and into the evening with or without a car, as long as you are willing to hop a bus.
At the Vail Cascade Lodge & Spa, the former Chap's Chophouse has been reinvented as the Atwater Grill, which I've not been to. Most entrees are under $30, but Atwater employs the steakhouse syndrome of charging $6 for each side dish. I'd probably opt for a salad or soup and an appetizer as an entree to keep from getting stuffed and bending the budget. Then, I'd have room for dessert too. The Fireside Bar also has a bar menu that might be an option w/out going even as far as the bus stop.

MG, here's a recent thread on the Valleys cheaper eats: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/578614
The Cascade van stays in Vail, ECO is the county bus and wait times can get painful in cold weather. The Vail/Beaver Creek bus is $5 each one way.
My take, the best dining places in the Valley are:
Larkspur - Vail
Sweet Basil - Vail (like lunch more than dinner
)Avondale - Avon Westin
Dish - Edwards
Juniper- Edwards
Splendio - Beaver Creek
Grouse Mountain - Beaver Creek
